Can be Interracial children accepted in the us?

I think your asking, "can interracial children be excepted in the USA?', if this is the question yes.

-

It always seems harder to find acceptance, when ever the economy is doing poorly, as people become more emotionally negatively charged lets say.

-

But the truth is, more children of ethic backgrounds other than Caucasian are born every day, and it will be the whites that will be the minority sooner than later.

-

But for now, interracial children do face prejudice, this is a social Greek tragedy perpetrated by small minded human beings.

Still interracial children, can grow up to be president, and guess what we have interracial president.

Nationwide , 33% illegal aliens in the prison system - source is Lou dobbs I think.

-----

Don't know where Dobbs gets his numbers, but the study linked below finds that 17% of CA state prison inmates are aliens, counting both documented and undocumented. So illegals would be some fraction of 17%. Nationally I'd expect it to be lower.

Look that up to find out and understand. I can't find a news organization, so I am asking this community for it.

When were Chinese Americans allowed to become American citizens?

Chinese immigration to the U.S. consisted of three major waves, with the first beginning in the 19th century. Chinese immigrants in the 19th century worked as laborers, particularly on the transcontinental railroad, such as the Central Pacific Railroad, and the mining industry, and suffered racial discrimination.
So hostile was the opposition that in 1882 the United States Congress eventually passed the Chinese Exclusion Act, which prohibited immigration from China for the next ten years. This law was then extended by the Geary Act in 1892.

In 1924 the law barred further entries of Chinese; those already in the United States had been ineligible for citizenship since the previous year. Also by 1924, all Asian immigrants (except people from the Philippines, which had been annexed by the United States in 1898) were utterly excluded by law, denied citizenship and naturalization, and prevented from marrying Caucasians or owning land.

In 1943, Chinese immigration to the U.S. was once again permitted - by way of the Magnuson Act - thereby repealing 61 years of official racial discrimination against the Chinese. Large scale Chinese immigration did not occur until 1965 when the Immigration and Nationality Act of 1965 lifted national origin quotas.

Greencard holder img wants to work in US without passing usmle?

As a green card holder, if you want to work in the United States as a doctor without passing the USMLE, it would be very challenging. The USMLE is typically a requirement for obtaining a medical license to practice medicine in the US, regardless of immigration status. Without passing the USMLE and obtaining a medical license, it would be difficult to work as a doctor in the United States. However, there may be alternative career paths within the healthcare field that do not require passing the USMLE.

If you have a green card and have lived in the US for 17 years do you become a citizen if you marry an American?

If you have a greencard, you are eligible to apply for naturalization by yourself in 5 years from the date your greencard was first issued.

Do you have to consummate marriage?

Depends on where you live.

This is what English law says about it:

Section 12 of the Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 provides the ground for a voidable marriage. A marriage is voidable if it has not been consummated due to the incapacity of either party to consummate it. Consummation requires sexual intercourse which is ordinary and complete. On the other hand, a marriage will also be voidable where either party to the marriage voluntarily refuses to consummate it. However, a party may not seek a decree of nullity resulting from his own refusal to consummate the marriage. Where either party to the marriage has not consented to it, the marriage may be avoided. There will be no consent where there has been duress, mistake, unsoundness of mind or otherwise. It is worth noting that Section 13 Matrimonial Causes Act 1973 provides certain bars where the marriage is voidable.

Yes. Specially the children who are blameless for being here illegally since their parents or relatives brought them here. They (the children) did not have a choice. i agree, of course they should. i am a teacher and believe all children deserve an education. Answer . Definatly not. Why should the local taxpayers have to support the education costs of other peoples children who pay NOTHING. This causes a strain on the resources that should be going to teach the children of those that are paying for it. This is why emergency rooms and hospitals are closing up all over the U.S.

How can an American get a divorce from an English citizen if she has moved to the US and he doesn't want a divorce?

In order to initiate a divorce in the U. S., the American spouse can file for divorce in the state where they currently reside. It's important to note that each state has its own residency requirements. If the English citizen spouse refuses to cooperate, the American spouse may choose to pursue a contested divorce, and the final outcome will be determined through legal proceedings. It is highly recommended to consult with an attorney who specializes in family law to receive guidance on the specific steps and requirements for the jurisdiction in question.
